A Phantom Schooner.

The young men living on "The
Neck" in Dorchester County, Nd, re-
late a story Of q phantom schooner,
which recalls the famous legend Of the
"Flying Dutchman. They were tow
ing on Beckwith's Creek at an early
hour in the morning, when the ghostly
vessel appeared before them, rushing
up stream with the jib set. The masts
were otherwise bare Of canvas, and
there was not q soul on board save g.
tall, lean figure in white at the wheel.
There was a red glow, like a colored
phosphorescent light around the
schooner's main masthead, and she
plunged from side to side in her course,
as if driven by demons. The vessel
approached within 100 yards of the
row-boat and then suddenly vanished
into thin air. The young men are re-
puted to be truthful, and their story
is believed

Golden Thoughts.

The foundation of education is
thoroughness.
Good Christians should never re-
venge injuries.
Count as lost the day in which you
have done no good.
1t is better to be nobly remembered
than nobly born.
Practice only can FURNISH the vir-
tues into their glorious luster.
Riches deceive those that trust III
them; as the stream of brooks they
pass away. =,
Many people are busy in the world
gathering together handful of thorns
to situpon.
You may be sure that the young
man who is ashamed OF his parents Is
a shame to them.
Instead of sitting down idly to
mourn over dead hopes, apply your
self vigorously to the nearest duty.
The hardest useful labor is less ex-
hausting, in the long run, than exclt-
ing pleasures, as most or their de-
voices in middle life sadly confess.
Each day, each week, each month,
each year new chance is given you
by God. A new chance, new leaf, q
new life, this is the golden, unspeak-
able gift which each new day offers
to you.
The unsuccessful striver, may lose
his property. his situation, his means
OF livelihood; all his plans may come
to naught and all his efforts frustrat-
ed; but until he lose his courage, he
has not lost all.
Mems lives should be like the day
more beautiful in the evening; or like
the summer-aglow with promise; and
like the autumn-rich with golden
sheaves, where good deeds have rip.

Watches Without Hands.

The construction of watches without
hands has lately attracted some at
tention, the usual hands being re-
placed by figures denoting the hour
and minute, which appear at openings
in the dial plate; the mechanism is
simple, and only few more parts are
required than in an ordinary watch.
Two wheels are used to denote the
minutes-one, which moves forward
once In minute, being geared to a
second one,, marked with the ten min
ute figures, and every ten minutes q
tooth on the first wheel engages with
the teeth on the second, moving it for
ward one figure. Thus, every minute
of the hour is shown on the face of the
watch, and, at it's completion, both
minute wheels show two ciphers, and
are ready to begin the round again;
the hour is shown on a separate wheel
and an ordinary hand indicates the
seconds. OF the advantages of this
kind of watch, it is remarked that few
people read the time of an ordinary
watch accurately, ana, ii the expert
ment is tried of glancing at the face in
the usual manner, and then naming
the time, it will be found that an er-
ror of from half minute to three
minutes will be generally made. With
the new watch, it is claimed, no error
can possibly occur, and there Is the
added advantage that, at the end OF
every minute, an audible click is
sounded as the number changes, by
which one can measure short intervals
of time, even at night.

Migrating to Siberia
From the London Times.

from the IOnQOn Times.
The tide of emigration of the Rus
sian peasants into Siberia is largely
on the increase There is no official
registration Of the numbers; but in
1886 there passed through Sygram
alone 1900, coming from the central
provinces. Others in large numbers
proceed by sea to the Amoor in the
far East. The disturbance of popula-
ton is not limited to q movement be-
yond the European frontiers, but pre-
walls actively within it.
One hundred thousand colonists
have lately migrated to the banks OF
the Klebau, and the Rural bank is as
sisting many other thousands to es-
tablish themselves in New Russia.
With the exception of the last there's
little or no organization of any OF
these movements; the people
simply seem impelled by impatience
OF their present lot and blind desire
OF change, and they go forth not
knowing whittier they go. Many of
them return to their original settle
ment after longer or shorter absence

a Paraiyzed Farmer.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A Detroit butcher named Joe Will
let's was up in Mecosta County few
DAYS ago to see some relatives. joe
is built after the ld-style architecture
one story and q basement-and any
man who picks him up for a consump-
tive is bound to feel sad over the mis-
take. While out riding one day with
a friend he came across q farmer who
was trying TO ''yank' a stump out OF
the ground with a yoke Of feeble-look-
ing steers. The stump had begun to
GIVE" but the steers strained and
twisted and pulled and couldn't bulge
it another inch.
'sWhat are you trying to do? ?"
asked Joe, as he stopped his horse.
"Trying to pull out this Internal
stump, sir" was the reply.
s1And the steers can't do it ?"
"No, nor any other yoke in these
parts. It'll take pound OF gunpoW-
der to lift that stump"
"Shooi now, but take OF your cat
tie. I'm something on the pull my
self"
"You! Say, do I look like fool?
You can drive on, stranger.
But Joe jumped down, slipped the
chain off the yoke, drove the steers to
one side, and then walked over to the
stump and said:
"Sometimes the dirt flies over half
an acre of ground. Better shade
your eyes"
With that he spit on his hands,
clasped his arms around the stump,
add without a bulge of his eyes he
lifted the whole thing out of the earth
and flung it aside with the remark:
shouldn't like any better fun than
to pull those steers backward over the
fence. but we must be going now.
So'long, old man."
And he climbed in and drove off.
At a bend in theroad helf mile away
they looked back. The farmer stood
there, mouth open and eyes as big as
Bermuda onions, and when they
waved their hats at him he never
moved a hair. He couldn't. He was
OaralyZed.

THE CHEAP CRAY0N ARTIST.

How Portraits Are Dashed Off and the
Methods Adopted to Make Money.
"What becomes of the many artists
who fail, eh ?" repeated q rising young
artist to the query of a New York
Mail and Express reporter. "Well,
many of them hang on and do hack
work all their lives. They degenerate
into the cheap crayon artist. and
many often clear as much as 500 q
week. But the genuine art instinct Is
dead, and can never be revived by
any process known to science. Do
they make good crayon portraits !?
Yes. some of their portraits are ex-
cellent, but thereis no characteristic art
nothing above mediocre mechanical
excellence. New York has an army Of
pastel and crayon artists. The artist
on the daily paper who eau sketch
and originate positions has lar more
talent and art instinct than the most
successful portrait maker. But the
most successful artist fakir-f | may
be allowed to use such a. TERMS he
who does life size portraits from pho
tographs by means of solar printing
The solar printing enlarges the photo
graph, and the mechanical artist
dashes on the crayon, thus saving
the labor of drawing the features. 1t
is quick method, and enables the
busy artist to do more work. Many
photographers have pictures made
life size by crayon artists for So q
apiece. | suppose, though, that the
photographer gets more than So from
his customers. Some Of these artists
do large amount of work, and do it
more rapidly than the scenic artist.

found him rushing off portraits at q
great race. He said that he was In g.

clouds while my friend was making g.
face on another canvas. He Is g.
superior crayon artist, and receives
the magnificent sum Of $25 for each
portrait. By hiring men to do back
grounds and all but the faces he turns
them out by wholesale. [ know a
German crayon artist who does b
wonderfully clever portrait life size,
for $15. He doesn't use the solar
printing plan. OF course there are
some artists on the Bowery who turn
out life size bust portraits at 81 and
SIS; but these are bad, even from the
crayon artists point ofview. The best
artists rarely go under $15, unless
they are doing work wholesale for pho
tographers. The Art League frequent
ly graduates first class crayon art
lists by simply letting them know that
they have no art instinct above the
mechanical This information saves
the student years of useless study.
The crayon artist deserves credit for
his true mechanical methods, and his
cheap prices do not interfere with
other artists who are not mechanical.
Solar printing has brought life size
crayon and pastel portraits within
the purview of very limited purses.
